I am very keen to hear from you if you are looking for fresh challenges.

If you are highly organised and self-motivated, and enjoy both clinical and education roles, you could be just the person we are looking for to complement our team.

You will also be a strong team player with a flexible approach to work and excellent interpersonal skills, as liaison with clinical staff is a key part of the job.

We can offer you a dynamic working environment with like-minded, passionate colleagues, full of ideas and willingness to embrace change.
